Chapter 1042 That's not a home, it's a den of wolves and tigers
Old Madam Xu didn't expect Jiang Wan to say that, and the shock in her eyes didn't seem fake.
"Princess, I miss my children so much that I came here to pick them up."
"I know."
Jiang Wan nodded slightly, "But I like Xiao Qiong. When she grows up, I will definitely send her back to the Marquis' Mansion."
"grandmother."
Xu Xiaolei stood up and said: "Qiong Er is afraid to see too many people after being shocked.
She and the princess get along well, so why not let her stay here for a while.
Once my grandson has established himself in Kyoto, he will come to pick up his sister."
He said this very bluntly. Kyoto was too chaotic and he was worried about taking his sister with him.
Similarly, the younger sister's stay with the princess just lets the world know that the princess is protecting them.
From now on, even if my sister goes back, no one will dare to cause trouble to her easily.
It's just that Xu Xiaolei felt bad for troubling the princess.
"this……"
Old Madam Xu was not very willing in her heart, as she had finally found her grandchildren.
So she softened her voice and asked Xiao Qiong for her opinion, "Xiao Qiong, what do you think?"
Worried that Xiao Qiong would not want to go back, she immediately said, "Don't worry, the Marquis's Mansion is run by your grandmother.
With your grandmother protecting you, no one dares to bully you."
"Thank you for your kindness, Grandma."
Xu Xiaoqiong said in a small voice, "I will follow my brother's arrangements."
Although she had to be separated from her brother for some time, Xu Xiaoqiong knew that her brother was doing it for her own good.
"grandmother."
Xu Xiaolei immediately said: "Thank you grandma for coming to see me and my sister, I am grateful.
But my sister is weak and can't travel long distances, so we can go back to Kyoto first."
Since he said so, Old Madam Xu did not force him, "Okay, I will listen to you, grandson.
Then pack up and I will take you back to Beijing as soon as possible."
Xiao Qiong was a granddaughter after all, so Old Madam Xu did not insist for too long and listened to Xu Xiaolei.
As long as my grandson comes back, that's enough.
Jiang Wan saw it clearly, and sarcasm appeared in her eyes, "Don't worry, Madam Xu, I will send someone to take care of Xiao Qiong."
"Thank you, Princess."
Old Madam Xu was truly grateful, but it was also true that the Marquisate was in decline, so the gift she gave was a set of old-fashioned headwear.
It was probably something she had worn when she was young. Jiang Wan could keep it and exchange it for silver, but she would never wear it.
Seeing Old Madam Xu chatting intimately with Xu Xiaolei, Xiao Qiong had a moment of envy in her eyes.
But soon, Xu Xiaolei took the initiative to say: "Grandma, since we have already agreed, we will not disturb the princess."
"Yes, yes, Xiao Qiong, grandma has ordered a table of delicious food at the inn. Come on, grandma will take you to eat."
"Princess, Xiao Qiong will be back soon."
Xu Xiaoqiong is young, but very sensible in front of Jiang Wan, who smiled and nodded.
"With your grandmother and brother here, I am relieved. Have fun."
"Thank you, Princess."
Xu Xiaoqiong skipped and followed Xu Xiaolei and the others as they left, and Old Madam Xu followed happily.
After they walked away, Qiu Niang couldn't help but complain, "This old lady Xu really treats us differently.
If Xiaolei refuses to go back, she will probably do everything she can to stop him."
"Originally, her main goal was to find a grandchild."
Jiang Wan did not comment. The carrier pigeon landed in her hand. After reading the contents of the letter, she suddenly understood.
"It turns out that the son born to Xiaoyao Hou's second wife drowned earlier this year. She finally got pregnant but had a miscarriage. She will not be able to have children in the future."
No wonder he was not in a hurry before, but now he is in such a hurry to pick people up.
"Then Xiaoyao Hou can still have children, right?"
Qiu Niang’s face was full of curiosity, and Jiang Wan sneered, “Maybe it’s retribution.
The concubine resented the Marquis because she couldn't have children, so she gave him a sterilizing drug."
No wonder the old lady said that she had dealt with the second wife and did not allow the Marquis to get close to her.
The Marquis's Mansion had been fighting for so long, and ended up with no descendants. Only then did they remember Xu Xiaolei who was living outside.
Earlier, the favorite of Old Madam Xu was probably the son born to Marquis Xiaoyao's second wife.
“You deserve it!”
Qiu Niang snorted, "No wonder Xiaolei and Xiaoqiong don't want to go home. That's not a home, it's clearly a den of wolves and tigers."
"Xiaolei is a smart kid, he knows what to do."
Jiang Wan believed that Xu Xiaolei could handle these things, so she stood up and stretched.
"Come on, let's go for a walk."
Jiang Wan felt bored after being stuck in the mansion all day, so she took Qiu Niang out of the palace.
Song Jiuyuan's methods are good. The people in Jiuzhou live and work in peace and contentment. Jiang Wan clearly feels that everyone's happiness index has increased a lot.
She entered the warm and cool restaurant and ordered a glass of warm juice. As soon as she sat down in the private room, she saw a family of three in the restaurant opposite, with a loving mother and a filial grandson.
Old Madam Xu was happily picking up food for the two children. Xu Xiaolei had a stern face, but Xu Xiaoqiong was eating happily.
Jiang Wan was wearing a veil. She curled the corners of her mouth slightly, and suddenly heard the sound of cups breaking coming from the private room next door.
Jiang Wan frowned slightly. Qiu Niang beside her went out for a while and came in and said:
"Princess, the guest in the private room next door should be from Kyoto."
"From Kyoto?"
Jiang Wan thought that the private room next to hers was next to hers, and she thought that she should be able to see the scene on the opposite side, so she had a guess in her heart.
"You have someone keep an eye on them."
"Yes, princess."
Qiu Niang passed the order down, and Jiang Wan took off her veil, slowly drank some juice, and ate some snacks.
Until Qiu Niang came in, "Princess, they are leaving."
"Um."
Jiang Wan put on a veil and left the private room, just as someone from the next private room came out.
Leading the group was a veiled woman, her eyes were somewhat mean and filled with hostility.
Jiang Wan went downstairs at the same time as her, and could vaguely see her tightly clutching the handkerchief in her hand.
After getting on the carriage, Jiang Wan watched the other person get on the carriage as well, "Looks like there's going to be something interesting to watch."
"princess."
Qiu Niang reminded quietly: "Xiao Lei saw you."
"Tell Xiaolei to come to the palace after he finishes his work."
Jiang Wan lowered the curtain of the carriage. Since that person had followed them to Jiuzhou, Xiaolei and Xiaoqiong must be in danger.
Since Jiang Wan promised to protect them, she would not go back on her word.
"yes."
Qiu Niang hurried over, whispered a few words in Xiao Qiong's ear, and then came over.
Not long after they returned to the palace, Xu Xiaolei came back with Xu Xiaoqiong.
"princess."
"Does your father's second wife have a mole between her eyebrows?"
Although it was not very obvious, Jiang Wan saw it clearly and Xu Xiaolei was shocked.
"How did the princess know?"
"If I'm not mistaken, I've already met her today."
Jiang Wan's words shocked Xu Xiaolei, and Xu Xiaoqiong was so scared that she shrank behind her brother.
"She...why is she here?"
Having been bullied by the other party since childhood, Xu Xiaoqiong has formed a conditioned reflex and becomes afraid whenever she is mentioned.
"I think he followed your grandmother quietly."
Jiang Wan handed the letter to Xu Xiaolei, "Reliable news, her previous son drowned, and now she can't have another child."
